Domestic abuse

Don't suffer in silence

Are you living in fear of someone you know? Is your partner, ex-partner or a family member hurting you or making you feel afraid? Are you worried your partner was abusive in a past relationship? You are not alone. You can get help.

The Home Refuge Scheme is a free service for anyone suffering abuse and wanting to remain in their home. It provides security measures such as door chains, viewers, and window locks, so you can stay safe in your home.

You will also be offered support from Berkshire Women’s Aid and have a full fire safety check from Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service.
